I make them, and I'm not too fond of them, but I don't make them for me. Some people like them and some people hate them. My dad likes them, I do not like them to be perfectly honest. I say do what makes you happy - don't try to please others with your car. If you like them, give it a shot, if not then don't; it's completely up to you.

I think those particular ones look crappy. I thought you were talking about the carbon fiber look panels when I first read this. If you just want a solution to old faded sail panels, just buy new ones. I got new pieces from GM last year for like $5 a piece IIRC.

I wanted to replace my crappy quality carbon fiber ones with the stainless ones but they're just too busy with too much stuff going on in such a small space. I passed and found a better quality set of carbon fiber ones.
